Description |
In 1786 Wilson refers to "the Earl of Shelburne's lodge at Kenmare". William Lawrenson was leasing Shelbourne Lodge at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £10. The lessor is named as Garrett Riordan though Bary states that the house was part of the Lansdowne estate and may, in the eighteenth century, have been used by the estate agent. It has had several owners since its sale in the early twentieth century but is still extant and now run as a guesthouse. See www.shelburnelodge.com |
